Lee Valley "First" Series Ornaments

Each ornament in this series depicts a notable "first" in our company’s history. We commissioned artist, designer and woodworker Gaétan Courchesne to illustrate and produce them for us.

The image on our First Product ornament commemorates the practical wood-burning barrel stove kit that started it all in 1977. Each stove kit, including a weighty door cast with the Lee Valley name, was hand-packed by the Lee family and orders were mailed to customers all over Canada. Next in the series is the First Catalog ornament, marking our first mail-order catalog published in 1978.

Produced in Canada, these 1-1/2" diameter maple balls make charming collectible keepsakes or seasonal gifts.

These products are not stocked at our retail stores.

Visit our stores to find versions of these ornaments in limited quantities with the name of the city where the ornament is purchased shown on the reverse.
